Is there a surgery to permanently reduce waist?

Asked By:hrandall2010 in Dallas, TX

I am 30yrs old and in very good shape. I've been competing in fitness competitions for years. I maintain low body fat thru diet/exercise, but cant achieve a smaller waist. In my everyday life, I'm very unhappy with my lack of an hourglass figure. My waist is shorter... and I know this is drastic but I've heard of rib removal to reduce waist. I've used waist trainers, corsets, and other treatments that minimally help. Is there any surgical procedure that will permanently reduce waist size?
